Is It Time For 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer Suspension Service?

When you first drove your 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your Trailblazer jolts, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The expert technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will begin with an inspection to find out what's really going on. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, axle bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If parts of your Chevrolet Trailblazer suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Chevrolet Trailblazer Replacement Shocks & Struts

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer suspension system. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Struts support the structure of the suspension and shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Chevrolet up off the ground. But there's no set schedule for 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer shock and strut replacement since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be signs of worn Chevrolet Trailblazer shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer suspension shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Chevrolet's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Chevrolet Trailblazer? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Chevrolet Trailblazer power steering fluid need to be checked? Get your power steering fluid check out when you get an oil change or every couple of months. If your Trailblazer is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Chevrolet's guidelines to help your suspension perform smoothly.
  • Why is my Chevrolet Trailblazer bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Trailblazer to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Trailblazer to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Trailblazer's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Chevrolet Trailblazer are bad? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Trailblazer feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Trailblazer travels over minor bumps.
